“I doubt if I shall ever have time to read the book again -- there are too many new ones coming out all the time which I want to read. Yet an old book has something for me which no new book can ever have -- for at every reading the memories and atmosphere of other readings come back and I am reading old years as well as an old book.”
― L.M. Montgomery, The Selected Journals Of L.M. Montgomery, Vol. 3: 1921-1929
